«El jardín de las dudas» is the epistolary novel by Fernando Savater, published by Planeta in paperback (245 pages, in Spanish).
An elderly Voltaire maintains a fictional correspondence with a Spanish lady: he recalls his life and his struggles against religious fanaticism, absolutism and superstition, while she portrays an eighteenth-century Spain full of routines and prejudices. The exchange composes a novelistic narrative that evokes the European Enlightenment spirit.
The work was a finalist for the Premio Planeta in 1993 and this edition is part of the Booket collection, number 131.
For readers who want to approach the European Enlightenment through an epistolary plot starring Voltaire.
Fernando Fernández-Savater Martín is a Spanish philosopher, essayist and author.
